The well-known Wiener index is defined as the sum of pairwise distances between vertices. Extremal problems with respect to it have been extensively studied for trees. A generalization of the Wiener index, called the Steiner Wiener index, takes the sum of minimum sizes of subgraphs that span [Formula: see text] given vertices over all possible choices of the [Formula: see text] vertices. We consider the extremal problems with respect to the Steiner Wiener index among trees of a given degree sequence. First, it is pointed out minimizing the Steiner Wiener index in general may be a difficult problem, although the extremal structure may very likely be the same as that for the regular Wiener index. We then consider the upper bound of the general Steiner Wiener index among trees of a given degree sequence and study the corresponding extremal trees. With these findings, some further discussion and computational analysis are presented for chemical trees. We also propose a conjecture based on the computational results. In addition, we identify the extremal trees that maximize the Steiner Wiener index among trees with a given maximum degree or number of leaves.

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$.The Wiener index $W(G)$ of $G$ is the sum of the distances between all unordered pairs of vertices of $G$. In this paper we show that the well-known upper bound $\big( \frac{n}{\delta+1}+2\big) {n \choose 2}$ on the Wiener index of a graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $\delta$ [M. Kouider, P. Winkler, Mean distance and minimum degree. J. Graph Theory 25 no. 1 (1997)] can be improved significantly if the graph contains also a vertex of large degree. Specifically, we give the asymptotically sharp bound $W(G) \leq {n-\Delta+\delta \choose 2} \frac{n+2\Delta}{\delta+1}+ 2n(n-1)$ on the Wiener index of a graph $G$ of order $n$, minimum degree $\delta$ and maximum degree $\Delta$. We prove a similar result for triangle-free graphs, and we determine a bound on the Wiener index of $C_4$-free graphs of given order, minimum and maximum degree and show that it is, in some sense, best possible.

Topological indices are useful for predicting the physicochemical behavior of chemical compounds. A main problem in this topic is finding good bounds for the indices, usually when some parameters of the graph are known. The aim of this paper is to use a unified approach in order to obtain several new inequalities for a wide family of topological indices restricted to trees and to characterize the corresponding extremal trees. The main results give upper and lower bounds for a large class of topological indices on trees, fixing or not the maximum degree. This class includes the first variable Zagreb, the Narumi–Katayama, the modified Narumi–Katayama and the Wiener index.

Fault diagnostic analysis is extremely important for interconnection networks. The [Formula: see text]-diagnosis imprecise strategy plays an essential role in the reliability of networks. The [Formula: see text]-diagnosis strategy can detect up to [Formula: see text] faulty vertices which might include at most [Formula: see text] misdiagnosed vertices. The exchanged hypercube is obtained by systematically removing links from a binary hypercube, which has smaller maximum degree and Wiener index than the hypercube. We use [Formula: see text] to denote the generalized exchanged hypercube, and show in this paper that [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]-diagnosable with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] under the PMC model and MM[Formula: see text] model. We also propose a [Formula: see text]-diagnosis algorithm on [Formula: see text]. As a side benefit, the [Formula: see text]-diagnosability of the dual-cube-like network [Formula: see text] can be directly obtained from our results.

AbstractIn this paper we show bounds for the adjacent eccentric distance sum of graphs in terms of Wiener index, maximum degree and minimum degree. We extend some earlier results of Hua and Yu [Bounds for the Adjacent Eccentric Distance Sum, International Mathematical Forum. Vol. 7 (2O02) no. 26. 1280-1294].The adjaceni eccentric distance sum index of the graph G is defined aswhere ε(υ) is the eccentricity of the vertex υ, deg(υ) is the degree of the vertex υ and D(υ) = ∑

The article describes a number of little-known methods for translating natural numbers from one number system to another. The first is a method for converting large numbers from the decimal system to the binary system, based on multiple divisions of a given number and all intermediate quotients by 64 (or another number equal to 2n ), followed by writing the last quotient and the resulting remainders in binary form. Then two methods of mutual translation of decimal and binary numbers are described, based on the so-called «Horner scheme». An optimal variant of converting numbers into the binary number system by the method of division by 2 is also given. In conclusion, a fragment of a manuscript from the beginning of the late 16th — early 17th centuries is published with translation into the binary system by the method of highlighting the maximum degree of number 2. Assignments for independent work of students are offered.

We grew cucumber in pots in greenhouse for 9-successive cropping cycles and analyzed the rhizosphere Pseudomonas spp. community structure and abundance by PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and quantitative PCR. Results showed that continuous monocropping changed the cucumber rhizosphere Pseudomonas spp. community. The number of DGGE bands, Shannon-Wiener index and Evenness index decreased during the 3rd cropping and thereafter, increased up to the 7th cropping, however, however, afterwards they decreased again. The abundance of Pseudomonas spp. increased up to the 5th successive cropping and then decreased gradually. These findings indicated that the structure and abundance of Pseudomonas spp. community changed with long-term cucumber monocropping, which might be linked to soil sickness caused by its continuous monocropping.
